Directory not getting all parent folders

[wonka1234]

Hi,

I want to extract all folder names from a path

Ie path  O:\Alteryx\Community\ParentToExtract1\Nov\20\Test

But I want to get all folders under community. Ie O:\Alteryx\Community\ParentToExtract1   , O:\Alteryx\Community\ParentToExtract2, O:\Alteryx\Community\ParentToExtract3.

seems like my directory tool is not extracting them all. How can I do this properly and get all parent names folders, I dont need the subfolders of the parent.

Hi @wonka1234 

try this configuration for the directory input tool

[wonka1234]

@Felipe_Ribeir0  is there an instance where a parent folder would not be returned? Ie if there is no actual file within the parent?

I am missing some of the folders that should be in my directory.

@wonka1234 these directories that you are missing have some file inside? If they do not have any file inside, unfortunately this tool will not be able to map the folder.

There is even an idea accepting votes to make this tool show empty directories: https://community.alteryx.com/t5/Alteryx-Designer-Ideas/Directory-Tool-Empty-Folders/idi-p/168419
